We are grateful for the support of our shareholders. To demonstrate our commitment to our shareholders, we plan to declare a year-end dividend of 10 yen per share, an increase of 2 yen, making the dividend for the entire year 20 yen. In the future, while maintaining our commitment to paying steady dividends, we will also work to enhance the relationship of trust we enjoy with all our shareholders by implementing dividend payments in response to business and financial conditions.

We anticipate the continuing severe market conditions for devices will hit bottom at long last in the first half of this fiscal year, and we are anticipating a full-fledged recovery beginning in the second half of the year. By implementing the business strategies we have outlined today, we are aiming to achieve record-setting sales and profits for fiscal 2005 as well.
